In the evening, Shang Yuan came as promised, along with Qin Tongren and Xu Dian. After the last "open and honest" meeting, these are the three people who decided to go to Anhui. Chai Qingguo had already come from Tianjin, and the three of them were not surprised to see Chai Qingguo again, but Chai Qingguo felt a little embarrassed.

Chen Ke briefed each other on the comrades from the north and south and briefed them on the latest situation. Shang Yuan and the others learned about the situation in the south for the first time, and after listening to the introduction, everyone was silent. Chen Ke went on to explain his attitude, "The situation is now that the People's Party branch in Shanghai has suffered a major setback. I plan to go back to Shanghai immediately to rescue the arrested comrades. If Brother Wangshan hadn't changed his mind, I would arrange for them to go to Anhui. ”

"I won't change my mind, when is Wenqing going to leave? And brother and sister, what are you going to do? "Shang Yuan's thinking has always been meticulous.

"I'm going to leave in three days, and if my wife says I'll go back to Shanghai with her. Then arrange for her and other comrades to go to Anhui together. ”

"I have to stay in Beijing for a while, and the factory has to have a result." Qin Tongren's arrangement is also very reasonable.

"If Brother Wen Qing needs someone to fight a lawsuit, I can go to Shanghai to help." Xu Dian seems to be quite confident in his legal abilities.

"Thank you very much." Chen Ke was very impressed by Xu Dian's enthusiasm and did not have much hope for a specific lawsuit.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Shang Yuan and Qin Tongren would stay in Beijing temporarily, and Chen Tianhua would return to Hebei now. Wu Xingchen, Chai Qingguo, Kuroshima Renichiro and Xie Mingxian will get up tomorrow and go back to Shanghai. Chen Ke left three days later, Xu Dian went home to deal with family affairs, and he would also leave for Shanghai to meet everyone.

Now that the decision has been made, everyone says goodbye. Xie Mingxian is very sophisticated, and offered to bring his luggage to live with Wu Xingchen. Chen Ke was also unwilling to pretend to stay.

After sending everyone away, Chen Ke would come and close the door, and the huge courtyard felt empty. Since coming to Beijing, it is the first time to live here so lonely. Chen Ke is not a person who likes to be lively in the 21st century, and he still likes to live alone. On the contrary, he returned to this era, and he had to get along with his comrades day and night. But people have habits, and suddenly being alone feels a little uncomfortable.

After returning to the house, He Ying looked at Chen Ke a little depressed and a little puzzled. He Ying is not stupid at all, it can be seen from this clue that Chen Ke has definitely encountered some big things. I wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to speak. At this time, I heard Chen Ke say, "It's late, go to sleep." He Ying felt shy. But I didn't expect Chen Ke's "Sleep." "It's really literal, the husband and wife just slept in a bed. Chen Ke soon fell asleep.

He Ying smelled the faint manly aura on Chen Ke's body and felt upset. I wanted to wake up Chen Ke and ask what was going on, but I couldn't do it. She slowly came out of Chen Ke's quilt, wrapped herself in a quilt and lay down again. Chen Ke's breathing was subtle, and he couldn't hear it at all. He Ying gently touched Chen Ke's face with her hand, and there was continuous breathing in her nostrils. Only then did she feel relieved.

Wrapped in her quilt, He Ying couldn't help but think of her aunt He Qian's words before marriage, "This Chen Ke is definitely not a good type, you have to be careful after getting married." At that time, He Ying didn't have an intuitive understanding of this, and in fact, He Ying couldn't define Chen Ke until now. Chen Ke himself is good or evil, not to mention, at least there should be a lot of politeness and care, Chen Ke is the same. He even cooks his own meals, helps himself with his clothes, and cleans up the table after the meal. The men around He Ying were all served by wives or maids. She occasionally heard her mother's conversations with the visiting wives, as well as other families. This makes Chen Ke look very special.

If it is said that there is no cave house, He Ying, a yellow flower girl, has no concept of this. It's just that I heard that couples will be like this, but it really didn't happen, and she doesn't feel any regrets. Anyway, the days to come will be long, and things will always come. The only thing He Ying didn't feel satisfied with was that Chen Ke didn't discuss anything with him. But to be honest, his father never discussed outside matters with his mother. This is not unusual. After thinking about it for a while, the sleepiness came up, and the little girl fell asleep unconsciously.

When they got up early in the morning, the two had breakfast, and Chen Kezheng said, "Madam, I want to take you back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow." Tomorrow I will meet with your father-in-law. Say goodbye to him. Today, you and I are going to visit some of my teachers and friends in Beijing and buy some gifts. ”

The third day is a standard etiquette, which is a big etiquette for the mother's family, and you need to bring a lot of gifts. Chen Ke felt that he had to make a big purchase. He Ying's attention was attracted by the word "going to Shanghai". She had heard of Shanghai, but she knew it far, far away. But she had no idea how far it would go. "Where is Shanghai?" She asked.

Chen Ke thought for a while, and went to his bag to find a large booklet. This is one of the most precious things he brings back from the 21st century. Everything was sold in Taobao City, and he saw a map brochure of China for hikers. Sixteen open prints, Chen Ke loves to travel alone on a bicycle, and if the nature comes up, he will also hike. The booklet was so exquisitely printed that he simply bought both copies while he had the money in his hand.

One stayed in Shanghai, and I don't know if it was spared when it was raided. However, Qi Huishen is still reliable, since Qi Huishen has been carefully kept along with other things, it should be fine, right? Placing the booklet on the table, Chen Ke told his wife about the geography of China. It was the first time He Ying had seen a real map, and it was strange that such a colorful and dense map full of straight curves actually looked like China. Seeing that rooster-like map of China, she couldn't believe she lived in such a country. Chen Ke felt that something was wrong, at this time, China's territory also included Mongolia, and when such a map came out, wouldn't he become a great traitor? Although Chen Ke couldn't do the "feat" of mapping and opening up the territory, he couldn't do it by dividing the country in vain. When Chen Ke was lecturing in Shanghai, he never dared to take out this atlas. What I am afraid of is that it has caused misunderstanding among comrades. Fortunately, He Ying doesn't understand geography, let alone maps. These questions were not pursued.

Chen Ke pointed out the route from Beijing to Shanghai. This booklet comes with a ruler, and the delicate transparent resin ruler makes He Ying love it. The two measured the distance, and after conversion, they came up with the result of thousands of miles. This really scared He Ying.

"I traveled thousands of miles from Shanghai to Tianjin, and from Tianjin to Beijing. And then I got married to you. Thousands of miles of marriage are tied by a thread, and we are destined husband and wife. Chen Ke spoke sweetly.

He Ying blushed, but also very happy. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Wen Qing, you have been so busy recently, what is going on?" ”

Anyway, this matter couldn't be hidden for long, Chen Ke simply said bluntly, "Several of my friends were arrested by foreigners in Shanghai, and I have to go back to rescue them." So the newlywed thing was also delayed. Saving people is like fighting fire, and I'm really not in the mood to stay here right now. ”

Hearing this, He Ying just nodded and continued to look at the cities marked on the map. There was no great change in expression and crying, nor was there a hurry to ask Chen Ke what was going on. This kind of behavior was beyond Chen Ke's expectations.

"Madame, won't you say something?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.

"When a friend is in trouble, he will go to the rescue, which is also what a husband should do. And you're going to take me with you, what else do I have to complain about? He Ying said slowly, "Since we are about to go far away, let's buy more things today." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ke was really a little in awe. Qin Tongren is really accurate in seeing people, he insisted that He Ying was a good companion at that time, and Chen Ke just heard that. At that time, he didn't expect that Shanghai* would happen, let alone encounter such a major event, He Ying's attitude was so open-minded.

"Then let's go." Chen Ke said. I saw He Ying close the atlas that Fang had just flipped through with great interest and handed it to Chen Ke. said that doing things is doing things, and there is no meaning of "plaything discouragement" at all. Chen Ke himself had absolutely no such cultivation when he was seventeen years old. As long as it's something you like, you won't stop if you don't get it dark. Chen Ke remembers that her mother said that she was a primary school teacher who came from a large family, attended a women's normal school, and worked in education all her life. Chen Ke's mother admired this teacher, because this teacher taught students to do things normally, which is such a requirement, and it seems that the so-called ladies are indeed not called in vain.

After packing up the atlas and packing up the clothes, it was windy today, Chen Ke took out his sunglasses and put them on for himself, and felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked He Ying to bring them. There are already sunglasses on the market this year, and after He Ying wears them, in terms of Chen Ke's aesthetics, they are really good-looking. Obviously, He Ying also liked the lightweight resin glasses, and she said with some embarrassment: "It's not good for others to see it." ”

"You're my wife, do you care what others say? I think you look good with it, let's go. After finishing speaking, Chen grabbed He Ying's hand and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Shang Yuan followed by a honeycomb coal truck parked at his door. For Shang Yuan, who sent himself "mold" early in the morning, Chen Ke didn't know whether to thank him or how to do it.

Shang Yuan didn't expect Chen Ke to go out so early, and saw that He Ying didn't apply fat powder, and her long hair was combed into a braid, completely dressed as a girl's family. I just brought beautiful sunglasses, but I also felt unexpected. Shang Yuan didn't like to be hypocritical, he was just slightly stunned and said, "Wen Qing, I just want to invite you to meet someone." Helped me move the coal. Now that you're up too, go along. ”

Chen Ke knew that Shang Yuan was not a boring person, and since he invited him like this, he should have thought it was necessary. Anyway, I didn't have a big deal, so I simply agreed. The three of them chatted as they walked. Shang Yuan's cart of coal was sent to his enlightenment teacher, and not only that, but his teacher's stove was also repaired by Shang Yuan himself. It is remarkable to think that a person who can make Shang Yuan respect so much.

His teacher is also a small Beijing official, and he lives not far away, and he soon arrived at the door. What came out of it was a man about fifty years old, and Shang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Teacher Li, I'm here." This is the Chen Ke I said,"

This man surnamed Li is a very ordinary person, that is to say, he looks ordinary, dresses ordinarily, and speaks ordinarily. After listening to Shang Yuan's brief introduction to Chen Ke, the man smiled kindly at Chen Ke, "This is Chen Wenqing." I've been looking up for a long time. ”

"Hello Mr. Li." Chen Ke also saw the salute.

"Mr. Li, let's move the coal in first before we talk." Shang Yuan said.

"Exactly, we're going to move coal." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and began to move.

Teacher Li was wearing a coarse cloth short, and he didn't say much politeness, so he took out a few wooden planks and started together. There was a lot of strength in numbers, and more than 500 pieces of coal were quickly moved. While Shang Yuan and Teacher Li were not at the door, Chen Ke secretly went to pay for the coal. The person transporting the coal was a familiar flag man, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Shang has already given the coal money." Chen Ke entered the courtyard at this time.

After washing their hands, they sat down in the main room. Teacher Li's name is Li Hongqi, and he took a large number of Chen Ke, and then smiled: "I have read Wenqing's book, and I have heard Wangshan talk about Wenqing's ambitions. When I saw it today, I felt that Wen Qing's personality was far from the truth written. ”

Chen Ke is not angry, people are not wrong. This book is plagiarized by myself, and doing things is my own original level. Compared with Marx and those who wrote university textbooks, Chen Ke was not arrogant enough to surpass it.

Li Hongqi looked at Chen Ke's indifferent look and nodded slightly, "Wenqing, Wangshan invited you over this time to let me enlighten you." I see Wen Qing, you write a book, you should be a famous child. Seeing you doing things, there are always some problems with famous people. Zi said: "A gentleman has three fears: fear of the mandate of heaven, fear of adults, and fear of the words of saints." The villain does not know the destiny of heaven and is not afraid, and the lord insults the words of the saint. Wenqing, even if you are only eight years old, you are rich in learning and five cars, and you can speak well. If you just know it but don't know why, it's just a rubber pillar and a drum, a contemporary Zhao Kuoer. ”

This question has also been bothering Chen Ke for a long time, and when he heard Li Hongqi's words, he was shocked. "Mr. Li, this is exactly what I am struggling with, what can Mr. Li do to solve it?"

Seeing Chen Ke looking at him with burning eyes, Li Hongqi smiled and said: "Wen Qing is in a hurry, the so-called dotting this kind of thing is exactly the same as looking on the street. I say mine, you listen to you. To put it vulgarly, it is to fart in the crotch of your pants and get angry at both ends. But since Wangshan came to the door and begged me in every way, I reluctantly said that I would come and listen. ”

This was said interestingly, Chen Ke and Shang Yuan, including He Ying, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I studied Confucianism, the so-called Mandate of Heaven is not a ghost or god, ghosts and gods are not to be feared, but the Mandate of Heaven has to be feared. According to the Wenqing book, the Mandate of Heaven is the torrent of history. Wen Qing's words are extremely exquisite, and people can't help but be amazed after reading them, but why things are so pedantic, this is the first time I've seen it. Can you tell us? ”

Chen Ke felt quite embarrassed when he heard this, "Chinese Cultural Inheritance and the Rise of Materialism", this book is a thing he plagiarized, complex theoretical knowledge, Chen Ke himself barely knows, and he only knows, and he is 108,000 miles away from being able to use it freely. But this is Chen Ke's capital to fool everyone and gain fame. Let him tell the truth, it is really difficult. After muttering for a while, Chen Ke mustered up the courage to tell the truth.

Listening to Chen Ke's "shy answer" to tell the truth, Li Hongqi laughed loudly, "I didn't expect Wen Qing to be so honest, it seems that there is still salvation." ”

Chen Ke felt that this Teacher Li was really comforting, but his words did not give Chen Ke any sense of comfort at all.

"Wen Qing, even if the materialist theory is plagiarized by you, but the Chinese part of this must have been written by yourself, even if it can be connected to such a point, it is already a big material, Wen Qing does not have to be disappointed in himself." Li Hongqi said it to the point, and Chen Ke felt much better after listening to it.

He nodded slightly, but heard Li Hongqi sneer, "Does Wen Qing know what he did wrong?" ”

These words were inexplicable, and Chen Ke was completely confused.

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. The so-called joy is nothing but the joy and sorrow of one's own gain or loss, and as for the thing itself, what is the joy and sorrow? Wen Qing, you secretly gave the coachman coal money today, right? When I saw you moving things, I looked left and right, for fear that I would do anything wrong, for fear of making anyone unhappy. If you are an ordinary person, this is already quite good, but Wenqing, your ambition is great, Wangshan told me, since you have this ambition, then you must not do so. If it is for ordinary people, it is enough not to make mistakes. If you are facing the heroes of the world, you can't do this, you need to do it yourself. ”

Shang Yuan listened intently and couldn't help but nod slightly.

Chen Ke felt a little puzzled, "Could you please explain more clearly to Mr. Li?" ”

"Wen Qing, I've seen people like you, they think that any thing, as long as the right result is gathered in the process, then you can get the ultimate right goal. This is a big mistake. ”

Chen Ke: This is the first time I've heard someone preach like this, and it's really refreshing. "What's wrong?" He asked.

"The mistake is that you think there is a right outcome in the world. A gentleman fears the destiny of heaven, and the destiny of heaven can be grasped by you alone. Zhuge Wuhou once sighed that it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to achieve things. You are wiser than Zhuge Wuhou, and the Mandate of Heaven can also be in your hands. I see Wen Qing writing in your book that history is spiraling. I'm not telling you a lie, I was really happy and amazed when I saw that paragraph. When I see you, Wenqing, I'm disappointed. The villain does not know the destiny of heaven and is not afraid, and the lord insults the words of the saint. Wen Qing, although you can write the words of a saint, you act absurdly, which is even more hateful than insulting the words of a saint. ”

Li Hongqi's words were sharp and mean, but Chen Ke no longer felt angry or happy at all, he stared at Li Hongqi with burning eyes, and asked solemnly: "This is my own fault, if I want to give up my life and forget my death, I can do it." But knowing the destiny of heaven, I can't do anything. Mr. Li, what's the problem? ”

"The problem is that Wen Qing you feel that you have achieved the right result. That's a big mistake. You will think that there is a right beginning, a right end. You just have to start from the beginning and get to the end. If ordinary people do this, they will not become fools. But by doing this, you are making the metaphysical mistake that Wen Qing said. First of all, you must adhere to your own ideals, Zi said: If the road is not good, take the pole and float in the sea. If there is no such ideal, it will not work. Just to practice this ideal, you can only do things according to your correct principles, from the beginning to the end. But you know the approximate outcome, but it's impossible to know the exact outcome. So, don't do it for the sake of the right result, you have to do it for the sake of being reasonable. ”

Chen Ke was really impressed when he heard these words.
